"Excellent service from John Moore! This review goes across the board to capture all those involved from the initial call for service to the final step of installation/replacement. We’ve used John Moore Services for several things in the past three months and once again they did not disappoint. Great customer service, pricing, speed and efficiency in installation! Highly recommend!!"

"They first brought in and attempted to install the wrong (lower level) model but the job boss caught it and they brought in the correct one. Then they couldn't get the thermostat to work but came back the next day and got it working. The next week the thermostat read 3 degrees higher than the set temp, next day it was a 4 degree difference, next day the screen went blank. They came out within an hour and fixed it but didn't seem to know what was wrong. Seems like the problem is with the American Standard product though. Cuccos was quick to fix the problems and very polite and clean. But also, the Angie's List page says they give a 10% discount to seniors and I didn't get that - when I asked, instead the owner offered 5 years free maintenance."

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"They did a great job. Our house smells and feels so much cleaner. We had some water damage and needed our roof replaced so a lot of water in the house. So glad we got this done. We immediately noticed a difference."

"The price was reasonable. They dumped the dirty water from the cleaning out on my driveway, which I did not appreciate. I had to go out and clean it up. I would probably not use them again in the future for this reason."

"Very well! I was treated with dignity and respect by John and Dana on their initial visit to get a second opinion as to why my A/C system had a leak which another company could not find. John explained all components of what needed to be done to solve my problem and promptly set up an appointment for a few days later, John offered options to me and gave ME the choice of which I wanted included in the work to be done. John and his crew arrived on the appointed date on time (actually a bit early which worked out great!) The crew placed a covering on the floor to protect it and I found that to be very thoughtful. They worked swiftly to replace the unit on a very hot day with no complaints! John explained how to work the new thermostat and said if I had any questions to let him know. He even stopped by at the end of the day to check on things which I found very thoughtful. I would not hesitate to recommend John from Texas Air Car for any HVAC service needs! My only regret is that I did not find this company sooner!"

"Excellent service and installation. Although I got a slightly lower cost estimate from a local competitor, RAS was used because they have provided excellent replacement and repair services over the years."

"I cannot remember having a better customer service experience with quality workmanship and products. Green Leaf Air installed a high quality air conditioning and heating system (Trane), including ductwork and plenum, at a very reasonable price. The whole installation process went very smooth as the on site technician was highly qualified in all matters of ac/heating installation and tailored the install to address issues with air distribution and cooling in my house. His assistant was a perfectionist. The system functions in a superior fashion and my home is cooled wonderfully during these hot summer days! And they offer financing! 10 stars!"

"They were OK. I had a vent already in there and they said they couldn't replace their vent with my vent. They would have to take their vent apart a little bit and take mine apart a little bit and they couldn't do that. And I looked at it and I said this is just a nut, or taking three or four screws out. And what they ended up doing was put another hole on our roof and moving the vent over about 15 to 20 feet. I wasn't able to get up on the roof to see how they put it in or if they orientated it right, so I couldn't answer about the quality. I think I referred to them the beginning of September and they took care of it a couple of weeks later. Any handyman could take something apart fairly easy that's the same size."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Hempstead, TX

Swamp coolers are quite energy-efficient, using only 15% to 35% of the electricity that traditional central air conditioning units consume. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers require water to operate and may not cool your home as effectively in extremely hot or humid conditions. When considering overall efficiency, it is essential to weigh both electricity and water usage, as well as the cooling needs specific to your local climate.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little to no cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest, eastern, or western coastal regions.

To install a swamp cooler on a roof, a local HVAC specialist will first find and cut a spot free of wiring and obstructions. They’ll then install metal bracing, legs, brackets, the ceiling duct register, ductwork, power, and thermostat wires. Once installed, they’ll seal all openings, attach duct connections, and install a thermostat. Before leaving, they’ll run cool water piping to the unit and inspect all the connections.

The cost to repair your swamp cooler ranges from $50 to $600, depending on the issue, whether new parts are needed, and the chosen repair service. Depending on the type of pad your system uses, you will need to change out the pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $230.

The U.S. Department of Energy states that swamp coolers can cool a single room by five to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this largely depends on the size and installation method of the evaporative cooler. You can only achieve these results in a dry climate, such as the American South, as it’s easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

Swamp cooler water usage varies depending on the size of the unit. Smaller evaporative units may use one gallon per hour, while much larger units could use up to 15 gallons of water per hour. Most homeowners can expect their unit to use between seven and 10 gallons of water per hour of usage.
